Musa Ibrahim () is a Bangladeshi mountaineer, trekker, journalist, and author. Although he claims to be the first Bangladeshi to reach the summit of Mount Everest, all living Everest climbers dispute his claim. His summit was also not recognized by the Nepal Government.

From then, Bangladesh became the 67th Mount Everest conquering country.
